ROSIE

 

 

Rosie the Riveter is an icon in the US representing the women who worked in manufacturing plants during WWII producing wartime supplies after many of the men went overseas to fight. Many women were expected to return to the  home, though, after the war was over. Conditions were sometimes harsh, and women usually did not get paid as much as the men they were replacing. Rose Will Monroe was the real woman who was associated with the character.
